The Great Gay
Racket

April 19, 2001

Getting
in touch with my feelings the other day, I realized how I loathe
homosexuals. All of them? Of course not. Some of them are funny, kind,
intelligent, and otherwise pleasant. But homosexuals in general, yes. I
cant stand them. Especially the ones who are organized under the
rubric of gay rights.

I guess this makes me
homophobic. So what? Homophobia is one of those
ugly cant-words  like racist and sexist  that
no self-respecting speaker of the English language would use. (Try to
imagine Abraham Lincoln calling someone homophobic.)
Its a verbal badge of groupthink.

Funny how the people who style
themselves victims always want to bully everyone else. Diversity
now means conformity. It means making sensible people afraid to
contradict nonsense so obvious as to insult their intelligence.

Normal people find homosexuality,
especially male homosexuality, repellent. Were supposed to
apologize for that? Our slang words for the anus, and their use as insults,
express our disgust with the whole idea of anal sex. Apart from the
personal defilement it involves, its grossly unsanitary.

My own feelings are intensified by
personal experience. Believe me, when a child you love has been
sodomized, it takes a lot of the romance out of buggery. What was merely
disgusting becomes nauseating. You neednt hate the perpetrator
 who, in this case as in so many others, had been sodomized as a
child himself  to feel utter revulsion at the act, and contempt for
those who try to endow it with dignity.

Will the victim now grow up to
sodomize other boys? Will he come down with AIDS? Will he, on his
wedding night, remember this first sexual experience?

Another
instance of homosexual pedophilia has been in the news lately  or
rather, hasnt been in the news. In 1999 two Arkansas perverts
raped, tortured, and murdered a 13-year-old boy; that crime has been
almost totally ignored by the same news media that spent a year
bewailing the murder of the homosexual Matthew Shepard. Because the boy
was a victim rather than a victimizer of homosexuals, his story might
hurt The Cause. No martyr he!

The standard gay line
on pedophilia is that most child molesters are heterosexuals. This is sheer
propaganda. Homosexuals are only 1 or 2 percent of the general population
(despite their inflated claims  also propagandist  of 10
percent), yet they are wildly disproportionate among pedophiles.

What is more important, though, is
that most heterosexuals are more than willing to punish molesters of
little girls. They dont make excuses for them or cover up their
crimes. They recognize norms of behavior.

But pedophiles are an integral part of
the gay rights movement. Does that movement repudiate
them? Not at all. On the contrary, the North American Man/Boy Love
Association is a regular and welcome contingent at gay
pride marches. In England, organized gays agitate for
lowering the age of consent for sex.

This stands to reason. Homosexuality
is an abandonment not only of the normal, but of any norms. Once you
approve of promiscuous anal sex with strangers, how can you draw a line
against anything? Why not have anal sex with kids, if thats your
thing?

And once again, the news media
 which love to highlight any extremists at
conservative events  refuse to report on pedophiles in the
movement. It might embarrass The Cause. If its
diversity you want, dont look for it among
journalists.

I used to feel sorry for homosexuals.
However they became that way, it was an inclination I could only pity
them for being saddled with, since so much of normal life was closed off
to them. And I understand why parents who find out their sons are
homosexual want to protect them, even if it means denying that
homosexuality is a serious disorder. Thats natural.

But no parent is glad to learn his son
is gay; no parent would wish that condition on a child. This
is why all the propaganda of gay pride rings false. Normal
people arent even proud of being normal; they take it for granted.
But pride in an abnormality?

I dont blame anyone for being
sick. I blame them for telling me that sickness is just another form of
health.
